Remedial Massage
Remedial Massage by Certified Therapist in Sydney
As the name suggests, Remedial Massage focuses on treatments that are Therapeutic and healing. It’s an umbrella term covering various techniques, depending on the practitioner’s training and experience.
I originally trained as a Naturopath, with a strong bodywork component taught by osteopaths, alongside university-level anatomy, physiology, and medical sciences. Early in my training, I even transferred to osteopathy for a time – that’s how much I was drawn to physical therapies. Although I returned to Naturopathy, I’ve always loved the hands-on side of practice.
Clients appreciate my approach. With a Medical Science degree and extensive college training, I work confidently across a wide range of musculoskeletal issues. And beyond the qualifications, I simply enjoy helping people feel better, whether that’s addressing a specific problem or supporting deep relaxation.
That’s all good and well, but I’m also genuinely enthusiastic about this work! Clients don’t just receive a skilled Remedial Massage – they usually leave feeling revived, more energised and with noticeably less pain, tightness or discomfort. Many describe a sense of lightness or clarity, not just in the body but in their overall mood. That’s the power of hands-on work delivered with skill, care, and purpose.
Steps Involved In Remedial Massage
Depending on the client, a case history may be taken and certain tests may be used to help determine what is happening in your body and causing problems. This way your treatment will be targeted in a way that will help bring you maximum benefit and healing.
The Conditions Remedial Massage Can Treat
Remedial Massage plays a powerful role in helping you to feel better in your body – easing pain, restoring movement and supporting long-term musculoskeletal health. Whether you’re after targeted massage treatment or simply, a great massage that actually works, here’s where it can help:
- General muscle tensions, aches and pains, including muscle stiffness. Addressing the feeling that you just need someone to give you a ‘really good massage!’
- Specific problems that involve your muscles, ligaments, joints or posture. This includes many, many conditions including migraines, headaches, frozen shoulder, stiff neck, spasmed muscle, ‘misalignments’ of joints, lower back pain, certain types of arthritis, hip and pelvic problems.
- Alternative to ‘cracking‘, or ‘manipulating’ joints. There are various techniques I use that can help to mobilise joints that are not moving the way should be or are ‘out of alignment’. By releasing appropriate ligaments and muscles around a joint, it is possible to re-establish better movement of a joint and help it to move more normally.
- Prevention. Keeping your muscles and joints in great shape is essential when you want to help minimise and prevent injuries, degeneration, and loss of mobility. Remedial Massage can play such a helpful role in this regard.
Frequently Asked Questions on Remedial Massage
You’ll be asked to fill out some basic details and tell us about what you need from the treatment. Our massage treatments are hand-on and always focused so that you experience an outstanding Massage treatment, addressing what needs t be addressed.
No. The focus is on particular areas that are causing problems.
I always put great importance on being able to relax and enjoy your treatment as much as possible. However, sometimes during Remedial Massage, when you are treating a sore or inflamed area for example, there may be a little discomfort here and there, but never pain. We are always guided by you if something becomes too uncomfortable.
This question ties to the point above. There may be some discomfort if an area is injured for example or if you are working very deeply into tight, fibrous muscles. But obviously there is a limit to this and will are always guided by you. Muscles can feel a bit ‘sore’ or ‘worked on’ after a treatment but this usually goes after a day or so. People call this a “good pain or soreness!”
